Canon has picked up three major wins at the latest Print IT Awards, reinforcing its position as one of the leading names in business printing and document solutions.
The awards span hardware, product innovation and cloud-based print management — highlighting Canon’s continued focus on building smarter, more connected print environments for modern workplaces.
Canon’s Print IT Award wins
At this year’s awards, Canon was recognised across three key categories:
- A3 MFP Vendor of the Year
- A3 MFP Line of the Year – imageFORCE
- OEM Cloud Print Management Solution of the Year – uniFLOW Online
Together, these awards reflect Canon’s strength across both hardware and software — from the devices themselves to the systems that manage them.
What the imageFORCE recognition means
The imageFORCE range is Canon’s latest generation of business printers, designed around performance, security and ease of use in shared office environments.
Winning A3 MFP Line of the Year suggests that Canon’s latest approach to office printing — combining speed, usability and modern security features — is resonating across the industry.
We recently took a closer look at one of the newer A4 devices in the range, the Canon imageFORCE 1643 Series, which follows the same principles in a more compact format.
Cloud print management continues to grow
Canon’s win for uniFLOW Online highlights how important cloud-based print management has become.
For many businesses, printing is no longer just about sending a job to a device. It now includes:
- User authentication and secure release printing
- Tracking usage across teams and departments
- Managing devices remotely
- Reducing unnecessary printing and waste
Solutions like uniFLOW Online are designed to bring all of this together in a way that fits hybrid and cloud-first workplaces.
A broader shift in office printing
These awards reflect a wider shift across the print industry. It is no longer just about speed or output quality — although both still matter. The focus is now on:
- Security built into every stage of the workflow
- Cloud connectivity and flexibility
- Devices that integrate smoothly into existing systems
- More efficient, lower-impact printing
Canon’s recognition across multiple categories suggests it is continuing to move in line with those expectations.
Final thoughts
Winning across hardware, product line and cloud print management is not something that happens by chance. It points to a joined-up approach — where devices, software and services all work together.
For businesses reviewing their print setup in 2026, it is another indication that the conversation is shifting beyond just printers, towards complete document and workflow solutions.
